The touch screen’s popularity is increasing everyday. But there are people still who prefer to use the keyboard in its physical form. Sony Ericsson realized this and one fine day decided to bring into the market the Xperia Pro, its first run being in Canada.
The Xperia offers the sliding out QWERRTY keyboard instead of the gaming controls as one would expect from the Xperia Play. This is one of the main features that make that keeps thePro in the Android Phone category, shifting it from the Xperia devices.
In the heart of the phone are some very amazing features. A Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon 1GHz processor adds glamour to the 1GB of internal memory. A 3.7 inch 480 x 854 pixel LED backlit LCD touch screen gives the users a comfortable view. Loaded with 512 MB of RAM, an 8 MP camera, a front facing VGA video call camera, the Android 2.3 Gingerbread, accelerometer, Sony Mobile BRAVIA engine, and a micro SD expansion, the Xperia Pro is a darling.
This smart phone also has its usual dose of smoldering Stereo FM, 802.11 b/g/n Wi – Fi, HADSPA 7.2 along with HSUPA 5.8, a Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and GPS.
The Xperia Pro has a glossy and smooth outer cover and three typical Xperia line buttons at the bottom of its robust keyboard. Increased performance over earlier Xperia smart phones and with not a vey compact size, the Xperia Pro is a phone much smaller than the larger Android ‘super phones’ in the market.
Better than most HTC phones the Xperia Pro gives an impressive display with its LED backlit LCD display backed by the Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine.
The Speedtest Mobile application revealed the ping as being anywhere between 107 ms to 128 ms and downloading speeds reaching the theoretical 7.2 Mbps cap on the HSDPA ( ranging between 5881 kbps to 6891 kbps) while the uploading speed of the Xperia Pro ranges from 1089 kbps to 1193 kbps.
The Xperia Pro is definitely a smart phone, armed with adequate Android features at a reasonable price.
